How can you say that is not a problem. The guy was bleeding and the hits obviously did damage. He was behind him and could see his entire back. This is an issue I encounter daily. PING or not, that was a backstab.
there ARE occasions where the backstabs are glitched :( But there's also the odd 1 or 2 facestabs that registre as a backstab. More often then not the spy is the one that's f'd by these glitches
nothings more fun than stabbing a guy in the back 20 times before he turns around and makes your body into swiss cheese, or random LOLNUBZICANTZAIM thats dominated by half the server comes along and owns you while youre stabbing that heavy.
yeah this happens too much because if they set it better it would be to good and people would probably get tons of sidestabs and facestabs its better off like that
this happened to me once. i had to tsab a heavy 4 times once xD plus, there was a scout shooting at him with FaN, and he didnt die until i had stabbed him 5 times :O bothof us was like WTF.
Uugh i'm sorry to say this but this is just a poor connection not vales fault when your stab is 'reguestered' it goes to the hosts computer but by that time it gets back to you (with a bad connection) the heavy moved foward and it miss's.
The warping backwards is a common sympton of lag you don't move backwards its just moving foward doesn't reguester. i've played tf2 for along time and i've NEVER had this problem sorry to say.
I had an epic stab failure on the 360 once ... enemy engie was facing away from me, didn't even know I was there, no one else around, so I took my time getting into position. Knife swings down, nothing happens to him, his sentry blows me to bits, and he never realizes I even existed.
PC version counts many backstabs as regular knife swings for me, so the victim spins around and whacks me EVEN AFTER the downward-swing insta-kill animation. :( Usually zero damage to them by my swing too.
this happens 2 me all the time,a clear backstab just doesnt always count,its so retarded,and then you end up dying because the backstabs dont register and the enemy sees you when he shouldve been dead :(
PS3 version is even worse. I followd a heavy from his respawn to the final point in dustboawl stage 2, and barely got rid of him. completely oblivious, stabbed him 20 or 30 times. when I finally stabbed him the Pyro got me. -_-
I know I've posted 2 other times but this is an end all statement. It isn't a lag issue. The heavy SEEMINGLY jerking forward is caused by the game correcting the Spy being inside the Heavie's character model due to such close proximity. It's a fucked up bug, plain and simple.
Lol lag and backstabs being plain broken are 2 different things dude. Also even under lag it's relevant because the point is a spy missing a stab while right behind somebody is just fucking dumb and a clear error on the developers part.
Really? Clearly you know. Lag plays a huge roll in the registration of anything in any game. When theres no lag, I have no problem getting backstabs. If you still want to argue that it's Valves fault, YOU make the game.
Lol, you and every other fucker talking about lag can go fuck yourself. Especially you since your such an arrogant prick. Whenever I lag I immediately stop playing and restart my computer. So I know for a fact it's not lag related when I experience shit like this.
Lag can occur on servers on the servers themselves, not just your internet. Lag happens, you deal with it, you get over it. You obviously know very little about how these things work.
Lol, I'M arrogant? Try looking at the way your talking to me and everyone else.
Yeah lag happens, and you have to get over it. That doesn't mean you can mark this, or ever other problem a player has as lag. Errors due occur in game programming. My point was people keep trying to just push this off to the side like it's not important but it is. Also yes you're an arrogant prick. I'm not arrogant, I just happen to know what the fuck I'm talking about, and express that abrasively, which is my right. I have no time to sugar coat my words for the ignorant.
It happens to work just fine for me. But that's because typically when I lag it's my computer slowing down do to heating up. I also reset my wireless modem when I restart my comp.
no its not, ive had to backstab a heavy twice when he was standing still eating a sandvich... that proves it beyond doubt its a bug. he was perfectly still the whole time and i stood perfectly still the whole time, first hit did nothing, second killed him. lag has nothing to do with it. i dare say that tonight i played and instead of getting denied heaps of backstabs i dont recall missing 1 undeniable one... i think the little update they just did may have fixed this. fingers crossed
No it's not. Backstab registers in the system as an automatic kill no matter what, unless the player is under Uber. It's like doing a Run KillThatFucker.exe in the middle of the game. Backstab is absolute, even on people with Godmode through Console usage.
now Valva MADE another problem, the complete BACKstab and the faster animation (if you thought this is bad, do it with the shorter range of the knife and angle but with faster animation... its SO screwed up now)
i think that it is fair that spys can miss most of the time there imba already so u know if they hit every time theyd be impossible to beat and the heavy has 300 health its hard to kill in one hit
i would love if Valve could get their fingers out of their asses and fix this new little buggy bug, causing serious problems to the servers with Spies, on the whole shit-load of servers ive tried on tonight, all have their spies locked
That heavy was beyond oblivious, he didn't even see you decloaking in the shade (which doesn't work against pretty much everyone else)
And true, about some of the issues with the backstabs, it's really irritating to know you can be backstabbed by spies while you know they're there. It also sucks when you get backstabbed from infront.
FAIL. Its not lag, this happens on MY OWN FUCKING SERVERS. Its the coding, and it has happened to me 6 times in a row on a stationary heavy, and then eventually i was gibbed by a soldier.
FAIL. It's not a problem, because it only seems to happen with you. Therefore, it is not a spy problem, but an "OMG everytime I stab I move backwards because my computer sucks and I know it does becuase this only happens to me" problem. Well, off to my scrim.
lol if facestabs can happen in favour of the spy (which more anti-spy people like to talk about) isn't it also reasonable to assume that failed legit backstabs happen due to the same bugs?
If the trunk on a car opens, and the brakes sometimes fail, isn't it also reasonable to say that they both happen because of the same mechanism failure?
No. Not really. But yet it is all about hit registration. As long as you stab the person's back at the height of your stab, you're good.
well thats really not my point, they both are in effect the same system where as a trunk and the brakes on a car are different systems. Facestabs happen because the programing is bad at "sensing" what is a hit to the back. Backstabs miss sometimes because of the same reasons, that is poor programming, programming that should recognize what is a hit oriented to the back. Plus its not lag because animations are clientside not serverside.
Everyone saying that it's lag - maybe that's just it? Collective of about 100 ping average between two players, therefore there should be a bit of a compensation, don't you think?
You quit spy because it was slightly harder? QQ, dude. I quit spy for a while because of the same reasons, but then I just learned to play smarter. Then I was racking up kills like James Bond. On the plus side, you PROBABLY got a lot better at the class(es) you switched back to.
If you have a relatively low ping but you are experiencing a 'warping' effect, whereby walking forward a few steps sees you suddenly warp back to where you started, then you are getting packet loss. This means that some of the information being sent/received through your internet connection to the server is being lost en route, and has to be re-sent immediately.
Something like this happened to me on badlands a while ago. I was a soldier, and something hurt me from behind. I turned around and killed a spy who had just hit my back with the knife.
Spies know it hits and only does normal damage much of the time, because right after you do that person (never looked behind them before) spins and gibs you.
I spent 5 seconds trying to stab a Soldier on Fastlane who just strafed to avoid Demo grenades. I went through the backstab animation three times and he just barely moved as it went down.Demo ended up with my kill. If it starts the animation, that means quickslash would've killed him. The animation missing makes no sense. It's broken.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Spy isnt ment for killing people, its also not ment for killing buildings, its ment for spamming the ciggarette taunt so a pyro can get an achievment.
Thats the thing: The lag is only you, when it lags you can press any direction without moving, but other people don't lag and only see a stoned person. Pretty annoying.
For example: I see a spy uncloak, lag, "CUT", backstabbed by the same spy!
I don't have any problem...it may be cause by the lag of the stabber or the lag of the server or the lag of the guy running... or something like that :P
Yep. It needs fixing. Had another spree like this one last night. Failed around 9 or 10 stabs, he turns round, crit gibs me in the face with a rocket.
put net_graph 1 on to see if the server where you play is crap or not. You should get more than 30 updates per sec in out of 66 atleast. It looks like that server had only less than 10 which will cause behaviour like that.
Heh. You don't have to worry about it? You have to worry about the exploits still there, the fact you don't even have Badlands yet. I much prefer PC to console.
I had this problem a lot yesterday. I would run up to a heavy and backstab, miss, backstab, miss and then the heavy turns around and punches me to death... That happened a few more times that game. Nobody had any lag at all.
backstab doesnt work..seems like facestab works better than backstab most of the time

If you have a relatively low ping but you are experiencing a 'warping' effect, whereby walking forward a few steps sees you suddenly warp back to where you started, then you are getting packet loss. This means that some of the information being sent/received through your internet connection to the server is being lost en route, and has to be re-sent immediately.

Something like this happened to me on badlands a while ago. I was a soldier, and something hurt me from behind. I turned around and killed a spy who had just hit my back with the knife.

Spies know it hits and only does normal damage much of the time, because right after you do that person (never looked behind them before) spins and gibs you.
I spent 5 seconds trying to stab a Soldier on Fastlane who just strafed to avoid Demo grenades. I went through the backstab animation three times and he just barely moved as it went down.Demo ended up with my kill. If it starts the animation, that means quickslash would've killed him. The animation missing makes no sense. It's broken.

Spy isnt ment for killing people, its also not ment for killing buildings, its ment for spamming the ciggarette taunt so a pyro can get an achievment.

Thats the thing: The lag is only you, when it lags you can press any direction without moving, but other people don't lag and only see a stoned person. Pretty annoying.
For example: I see a spy uncloak, lag, "CUT", backstabbed by the same spy!

I don't have any problem...it may be cause by the lag of the stabber or the lag of the server or the lag of the guy running... or something like that :P

Every time I come out of disguise while stabbing I jump back a few feet. It's really fucking annoying.

Yep. It needs fixing. Had another spree like this one last night. Failed around 9 or 10 stabs, he turns round, crit gibs me in the face with a rocket.

put net_graph 1 on to see if the server where you play is crap or not. You should get more than 30 updates per sec in out of 66 atleast. It looks like that server had only less than 10 which will cause behaviour like that.

I'd chock it up to lag, but it'd be nice if this could be tested on a LAN. That'd remove almost all doubt.

im sorry to say it happens.... sadly ive fallen victim to it many a time, which resulted in my death other than that of my attackee - the heavy.

I understand your point. The spy is so damn weak already it won't hurt.

Looks like some lag. You can see, after every stab animation, he jumps forward, or you jump backwards abour 4 feet.

Heh. You don't have to worry about it? You have to worry about the exploits still there, the fact you don't even have Badlands yet. I much prefer PC to console.

I say the xonsole verion is so much more fucked up than the pc one cause u have to rely on one persons connection.

I had this problem a lot yesterday. I would run up to a heavy and backstab, miss, backstab, miss and then the heavy turns around and punches me to death... That happened a few more times that game. Nobody had any lag at all.
